The connectors are so big, how did you bury/keep covered?

I did not find that to be a problem. I left the transformer on the rocks and the setting to come on at dusk and sunk the lights about 6-8inches deep in the soil so nothing could be seen. I piled a couple of rocks around the lights for extra support being we are in the desert.

The wire leader off of the lights are pretty long. If you route the wire through the plastic stakes and dig a small hole about 4 inches deep you can connect to your bus line and stab the mini stake on the connector to the bottom of your hole and cover the hole back up.Hope this helps

I buried all wireing and connectors 2" then I put mulch over entire area. This was in landscape area

We didn't have a problem with burying the connectors. However, our lights are in an area that is away from the common area of the yard and therefore the connectors were easy conceal. We love the lights; they are beautiful.

We didn't like the connectors provided with the lights, so we used connectors from the hardware store: Ace 22-18 AWG Tap Splice Connector, Insulated. They're red and come in a small box of 25. Hope this helps!

The connector on the bottom is extended, But I believe the box may be too thick.

I used these: http://www.amazon.com/Postions-Insulated-Terminal-Barrier-Strip/dp/B00D0W93NU/ref=pd_bxgy_e_img_y They worked well.

I am not sure as i have covered the connection up so that the terminals could not be accidentally crossed by something. I installed the largest cables you could find on Amazon and they bolted right up. I would say they are on the large side for a converter. It does the job on a stand alone deep cycle battery very well.

You could hide it behind the unit, but it all depends on your placement of the unit. Mine covered my cable outlet, but my wall plug is off to the side. Depending on your number of electronics, it could get full pretty quickly behind the unit if you place it over your wall outlet - depends on your cable management.

I just drilled a hole on the bottom lip of the housing, just big enough for the connector to make it through. Then you can seal with a rubber grommet, silicone or even plumbers putty. Works good and I ran two types of connectors in so i can change between gps and cell phone.

Slip a 1" piece of heat shrink tubing on the wire to be crimped. Dip the stripped wire into some solder flux, place the connector on a hard surface (like the flat top of a vise), insert the wire into the connector, place the side edge of a large flat blade screwdriver on top of the connector centered over the wire holder, then smack the screwdriver blade edge with a hammer. This puts a nice crimp in the connector. I strip the wire so about an eighth of an inch of bare wire is exposed after the crimping is done. Then I use a a small torch to wick solder into the connector. Shrink the tubing over the rear on the connector and bare section of the wire. Heat shrink is not absolutely necessary as the wires are deep enough in the connector body to prevent shorts. Wish I could post a picture! The screwdriver is held horizontal with the 'thin' part of the blade vertical on top of the connector. The bigger the screwdriver the better. A big blunt chisel could be used, but I'd be afraid of cutting the connector in half. Hope this helps.

The connector was not tightly touched. When you install it, it may become loose. We heard from other customers that they used a sticking tape to stablize the connectors.

Keep your wires long, then push them down into slots w Very small screwdriver or similar, then trim ends of wires off

You need some type of squashing tool to hold the wire into the metal connector. I just used pliers.

vinyl covered......so, reasonably well.....you may want to tape ends and connectors or oil lightly..

I can't help you but my husband says you can drill a hole in the concrete and buy plastics inserts (plugs with holes in the center) and push them into the holes you drilled in the concrete so they fit snug. The inside of the plug will have a hole in the center so put a little bit larger screw into the plug to expand the plug. You will need screws that are long enough to accommodate the coat rack plus go into the plugs. Once you get the rack, take it to your hardware store and they will find the expanding plug and screws you need. Hope this helps you because the rack is really nice! I put mine up on a regular wall. You mentioned nails; we suggest screws instead of the nails you mentioned.

Buy your cord with a 90 degree plug and then install the receptacle to match the orientation of the plug. If the hole for the cord is a bit tight, just relieve the hole in the cover with a round or half-round file until it fits (snuggly). On the side; getting a 30 amp receptacle and its minimum 3 or 4 each 10-AWG wires all in a single duplex box is dubious / tiresome. Thus use a 4x4 box, a 4 x 4 mud ring to single gang adapter, and then the cover.

Just wire one end to your power supply, being careful to get the polarity correct. You should protect the exposed wires on the other end.. I just covered each lead with a small piece of heat shrink tubing.

Bend back the blue wire, if you don't need ac and tape it to the other cable or sleeve it with split conduit(wallmart), this should keep it looking clean

Personally, we clipped them short, folded them over without letting them touch each other, and covered them with electrical tape. Hope this helps.

I used 10AWG (PTFE insulated), but essentially, that depends on what terminals you have available. The ones included are probably best with 12AWG or smaller
